So whilst I was on hiatus, I watched a lot of tv.
And seeing as it's now the Silly Season in Australia (read: Non-ratings period), pretty much what I've got to say is out of season too.
What I started watching:
Alias: Why I didn't watch this before, I have no idea. When watching the promos for Season 2, it seemed that it was all Jennifer Garner=Tits and Ass (Phase One, black and red lingerie etc), but then I got watching and...my god, they have continuity and character arcs and Vaughn is a hottie. And I want to have Will's babies cos he's so lovely. In short, it's one of my new favourite shows and I can't wait for Season 3.
Stargate SG-1: I'd watched the original movie, read the novelisation and all that sort of stuff, but never thought about watching the show because it looked a bit trashy. A friend had been on at me to watch it, but I was a bit dubious. And again, I was wrong. So this is another show that I've jumped on very late (Season 5/6) and now I find myself stranded early in Season 6 (last ep was ep5, Nightwalkers) because the bastards at channel 7 have just stopped because it's the Silly Season. No warning, nothing. Although apparently they've been doing this to the show for years. No matter, I'm still pissed.
I think that's actually pretty much it..but you must admit, taking on two new series is a pretty major thing for me, as usually I'm a one-series at a time kinda girl. Well, gotta find something to fill in the Buffy void.
In Australian tv, I also watched Kylie Kwong's Heart and Soul cooking show, which was good. I think I also watched a lot of miscellaneous trash that is probably too embarassing for me to safely recount here.
